Soulmates

Waiting for us

I felt different when I woke up the next day. I could not explain what had changed in me. Something deep. Something to do with the essence of me. All the signs were there but I could not see them. Or perhaps I did not want to see them...

He is still blissfully asleep. I look at his back, naked and powerful, and draw the outline of his muscles with the tip of my fingers. I blush when I reach the bite mark I left on his shoulders. I bury my face in his neck and breathe in the smell of him. I had never paid attention to the musky, spicy quality of his scent. I hear him sigh as he turns to me, messy hair, eyes half shut. I stroke his face and smile. He snuggles up to me, his head against my breasts. Then he sits up all of a sudden.

"What's going on?"

I don't understand until I look down at my chest. Bite marks. I laugh. Chris blushes even more as he discovers more marks on my shoulders, my arms, my belly, my hips and even my thighs.

"I — I'm sorry, Y/N! I — Fuck that wolf!"

I can't stop laughing.

"You know, he is a part of you and I love him just as much."

He looks at me with tender, soft, grateful eyes.

"I am yours but also his," I whisper.

He kisses me lovingly. Our bond vibrates and I feel a powerful rush of love towards him. I lead him into a new embrace. We make love. Slowly. The night's desire letting tenderness take over.

When we leave our refuge, glued to each other, our fingers intertwined, 7 pairs of eyes stare at us. Han jumps up and down, shouting excitedly. Felix chuckles and comes in for a hug. I feel Chris tense up next to me.

My voice is firm when I whisper "Stop it, Chris."

He relaxes.

"Dear Delta, I officially welcome you into the pack," Minho says.

"Yeah, we know she's our Delta alright! I could've done without what you put us through last night — and this morning!" Hyunjin says, disgusted.

Changbin laughs.

"The bond — we all felt what you felt last night, and this morning," Felix says, still in my arms.

I turn to Chris, feeling myself blush. He laughs but is blushing too.

"I'll teach you to control it."

"Quickly, please. I don't want our seven cubs to know when we're making love..."

"Personally, I like to know that you are happy, that you feel that much pleasure with our Alpha. I didn't have doubts before but now it's official!" Han says, jumping to my side as I sit on the couch, with Felix still glued to me.

The others follow and Chris laughs and says "I officially welcome you to the pack!"

The bond vibrates in every direction. I feel overwhelmed by all the emotions I feel and start crying softly. I hear a low group and Chris's hand gets me out of the pile of bodies on me. The rest of the pack moves away quickly. He leads me to him and brushes away my tears. His eyes are a shade of red.

"They're just tears of joy. I'm so happy," I reassure him with a smile. I kiss him.

Being part of the pack seemed so perfect. But I was their Delta and I betrayed them. Because I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't bear it.
